DR Big Band Sessions is a format that brings the experienced DR Big Band into close musical dialogue with some of the most promising young jazz composers and musicians currently active on the Danish scene. Conductor Jochen Neuffer leads the ensemble through an evening designed to showcase the future of Danish jazz.
The evening offers a rare opportunity to hear tomorrow's jazz stars perform alongside one of the world's leading professional big bands in the intimate setting of Studie 2 at DR Koncerthuset. Expect bursts of energy, fresh musical ideas, and creative exchanges between the generations.
The series raises the question of what Danish jazz will sound like in the coming years — and who will shape it both at home and internationally.
